Shailendra Sharma, Sudha Dubey, & Rajendra Chaurasia

Kunda River has a dense population of benthic communities. The shoreline area of this shallow tropical river is not only an ideal habitat for the benthic community but it also plays an important role in the exchange of food cycles in the river ecosystem. The benthic community serves as major component of secondary production in the river. The benthic organisms are reported as main components of the food chain. It was therefore, thought worth benthic species diversity. The present study is focused on biodiversity of the benthic community of Kunda River, Khargone. The present investigations deals with the population density and species diversity of aquatic benthic macro-invertebrate fauna diversity of this River, studies were conducted during August 2010- July 2011.
